While poking fun at less than stellar police work in my last post, this was happening.

It sucks!
The alleged driver is now in custody. Weld County is blessed that we don't lose that many officers. The last one was 11 yrs ago next month - line of duty death.

I remember that. Awhile later when the cruiser he was driving was being retired, a local well to do resident outbid everyone at the auction then gave the car to the officer's son. We have some good people in this county.
Hope they're able to catch the person and lock him up. That's sad. There are many things about police that need fixed and I often feel like they get away with far too much; but this should not be happening. She was so young.

He has been captured. When he was arrested, he was cuffed with her carry handcuffs.
